I propose to take Questions Nos. 89 and 90 together.

Information on the number of public servants is collected and collated on a quarterly basis.  The total number employed in the Public Service from end 2008 to date, expressed in terms of whole-time equivalents (WTEs) is set out below.  This information and further data  is freely available on my Department's Databank website
